I think I'm similar; I've been using the same starter word since almost day 1, and despite having seen lots of very compelling evidence that it is suboptimal, I have not changed it :D
But I'm still somehow interested in what is optimal (& I guess oddly passionate about the definition of optimality).
Actually yeah, even though I'm trying to get it in 3 every day, I do not optimize my starting word. In fact I get quite some pleasure out of choosing a bad starting word (like MELEE) and then going for a 3. I wouldn't mind if wordle had an option to start with a random word (and everyone who plays that way that day has that same randomized starting word.)
That is a genius idea. Maybe the first row of coloured squares that you share can be a different colour scheme to show to others that you are playing that mode.
